Tá Glór na nGael le comórtas cártaí Nollag a eagrú do Ghaeilgeoirí a chónaíonn thar lear.
Le tacaíocht ón Roinn Gnóthaí Eachtracha, thosaigh Glór na nGael comórtas bliantúil i 2005, Global Gaeilge, le haitheantas a thabhairt don obair a dhéantar thar lear leis an Ghaeilge a chur chun cinn.
Tugann sé spreagadh agus moladh do na grúpaí sin atá ag tabhairt faoi obair fhorbartha na Gaeilge agus síneann sé lámh an mhuintearais i dtreo na nGael thar lear agus dearbhóidh sé tábhacht na nGael sin i bpobal na Gaeilge.
Is mar fhorbairt ar Global Gaeilge atá Comórtas na gCártaí Nollag a eagrú do 2009.

* Caithfidh na beannachtaí ar na cártaí bheith trí mheán na Gaeilge;
* Caithfidh na hiontrálaithe bheith ina gcónaí taobh amuigh d’Éirinn;
